117 dollars and it was small portions 1 piece beef in beef and broccoli. Barely fed 3 adults and 2 children

November 26, 2024

So I think the first time I was in Mings I was probably around 4 years old. So 43 years ago. Everyone in my family used to go there over the years. Used to be really good food. And at a normal price. Just went and got take out tonight. What an absolute disappointment. It was disgusting. I spent $50 on wor wonton soup and a 3 item meal. What a joke. Like how cheap can you be????? And horrible. Like really??? Have at least a little pride in your product and services. I couldn't even eat it. I had to force myself because I was hungry. If I get sick from this it will be all over social media. Gross. I will never eat there again in my life. The new one either. So disappointed.

This little gem had been a great place to grab some Chinese food. Best of all it was close to home where I lived in F.S.J. basically a block away. Always good food and service with a smile. Plus the prices were very reasonable for the food ordered.

We ordered the other night for pickup. Picked up on time & headed right home. Food was absolutely disgusting! Everything tasted like old grease and our chicken balls were black in the inside and chewy. Waste of 90$! Will not eat there again.

Best Western Chinese food in town. Expensive, but tasty. Service is always good. Chicken chow mein is really really salty and the egg rolls and spring rolls are not the best, you can skip them. Food

Best chinese food in town. Cantonese style chow mein slaps every time

December 22, 2023

Will never order from them again. It was gross, rice was greasy,chicken bites not balls and were hard and just recooked not freshly made. The only thing that was good were the veggies. Online menu says one price but they charge you more when you get it.

December 22, 2023

Went here and the waiter was not very interactive when we were the only people in the place, went by our table twice within the time we were here. Food was really good as always though.

Hands down best takeout

December 22, 2022

Prices have gone up,, now they have went to smaller containers and its lackluster. Used to order a 5 piece combo and you could hardly finish it. now you can easily hammer it down and still want something else. Not impressed with them lately !!!!

December 22, 2022

I ordered four items three of the items were good I had beef chop suey and it was rotten to meet with rotten. It just scraped it off my plate and charged me for three items I was so disgusted

★★
December 22, 2022

Used to be pretty good. Was expensive, and was way smaller portion than they used to offer. I understand raising prices, but they should build better customer relations by filling up their containers with a decent amount of food, instead of raising prices, and not giving a good value. Food tasted fine, too expensive.

Pork chow mein, and chicken & almond chop suey was completely flavourless. Ginger beef tasted bad. Sweet & sour pork was decent. Friendly service, prompt delivery, ingredients seemed fresh.

December 22, 2022

Prices went up. Smaller containers and portions. Not impressed with quality or taste the past 2 times we have ordered. Wont order from here anymore.

We have been getting takeout here for years. We have had multiple bad experiences at other Chinese Restaurants in FSJ. The best part is that it tastes great and is consistent. They give large portions and have great service. Delivery is quick and food is hot.

I dont like to post bad reviews but this was the worst Chinese food Ive ever had. It was supposed to be a special Mothers Day dinner but was tiny shrimp (they called them prawns) in great wads of dough, bland noodles with a few bits of carrot and some dry chicken laying on top for chow mein, strange (in an unpleasant way) ginger beef. The mediocre chop suey was the best thing. We called Mings and they offered a casual apology and said the prawns are always that size. Wont be back.

Ok food and service

December 22, 2018

Absolutely disgusting. After almost 2 years of not going there. As they lost my regular buisness over 20 bucks. (They got my order wrong and wouldnt give a refund) I decided to give them another chance. (And mama panda was closed lol) theyve gone way downhill since. Chow mein was soggy af. Tasteless and very tight on the chicken. Sweet and sour pork had a funny taste to it. I would not recommend this place. Mama Panda is much better

★★★★★

December 22, 2018

I would not recommend eating at this place. Ive spoken to people who have done maintenance work in the back kitchen, and sounds like they seen some pretty unsanitary things.

We order take-out on Sundays when we dont feel like cooking. Living right across the street from Mings Kitchen in Fort St John its our go to place for Chinese food. We have our favorite dishes so we know when something is off and Ill tell you that does not happen very often at all, the food is always fresh and hot for us, the honey garlic boneless pork is my favorite, and we love the Cantonese chow mien. I wish that whoever takes the order over the phone would be a little more polite, and the place should be cleaned better but we have never felt ill or had unsanitary food from this place. A couple weeks ago we tried a dish that weve never had before the chicken they use in the Curried Chicken dish could be improved it seems plasticity, spongy, frozen and cheap tasting so we wont order that dish anymore. Last night we tried the Black Bean Chicken and it was much better than the curried chicken but they still used that strange textured chicken. Please just use a real chicken breast. Dont be so cheap to your customers and start using higher quality.

Id really give it fewer stars but its kind of the best for FSJ. Ive never eaten their smorgasbord but their delivery is the best in town. Unfortunately it still could be leagues better. This may have to do with how far north we are and the price of trucking the supplies they need.

December 22, 2017

Grossest Chinese food. I will never go back to this restaurant! So greasy will wait to get back home for Chinese food! Dont waste your money on this crap they call Chinese food

This place has some good Chinese food, but nothing that makes it rise above any of the other Chinese options in town. One nice thing though is that they are open later than most restaurants in town. Its a great place for your late night fix!

Got delivery, didnt take long. Great flavour. Wanton soup, fresh mushrooms, schezuan beef was great, but the vegetables out weighed the beef 5-1, still great flavour. Havent tried the chicken chow mein yet, but Im sure itll be good. Have a shellfish allergy and they were really good at helping me out.

Lets start with whats right, the delivery was quick and the delivery guys was polite and cute, lol. Now for the real review... What they call Szechuan chicken isnt actually Szechuan, its just boiled chicken pieces with some chilli sauce. Chicken chow mien is tasteless noodles with a sprinkle of chicken on top. Mushroom fried rice is salty rice with some mushroom packed on top. Overall, its truly horrible food and wayyy overpriced, my order costed me $38.95 for 3 dishes which wasnt worth it. What a disappointment

Food used to be best in town, but under new management now and the food is terrible. Greasiest chinese food Ive ever seen, the paper bag my order was in literally fell apart it was so soaked in grease. Sweet and sour pork was some deep-fried balls of something in a corner store cardboard container with a thin sauce in a separate container. All the food was quite bland as well, hardly any flavor. I will not be ordering from this place again.

As far as Chinese restaurants go, this is a bit above average. Ive tried quite a few things there and all in all its good enough that I keep going back when Im in town, even though its not very close to where I stay.
